Hradec Kralove City Car Hire

Hradec Králové is a historic city in eastern Bohemia, located about 100 km east of Prague and 90 km south of the Polish border. With 1 rental company in the downtown, it's easy to pick up a rental car and explore the beautiful Elbe Valley landscape and fortress towns. The city is known for its functionalist architecture and is located at the confluence of the Elbe and Orlice rivers.

From Hradec Králové you can reach Kutná Hora (90 km southwest) and its UNESCO-listed bone church in less than an hour. Riesengebirge/Krkonoše National Park is just 60 km to the north and is perfect for a day trip with a rental car. Park at Velké náměstí and explore the medieval city center on foot – the streets are narrow and parking is limited in the oldest quarters.
